surfacethin

Syntax: surfacethin(image, retain surfaces)

Thins one layer of pixels from the foreground of the image. Positive pixels are assumed to belong to the foreground. Run iteratively to calculate a surface skeleton. This command is not guaranteed to give the same result in both normal and distributed processing mode. Despite that, both modes should give a valid result.

This command can be used in the distributed processing mode. Use distribute command to change processing mode from local to distributed.

retain surfaces [input]

Data type: boolean

Default value: True
